YARN-WINDER.

I Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 5, 1918..

Application filed August 2, 1916. Serial No. 112,832. 7

Figure 1 shows a plan view.

Fig. 2 a side elevation with one of the arms in section.

1 marks the base. This is supported by three legs 2. A head 3 is rotatively mounted on the base, the pin l extending from the head into the base for this purpose. A cup 5 is preferably mounted on the head in which a ball may rest if desired.

Pins 6 are fitted into the head 3 and these extend telescopically into the tubular arms 7 5 the arms having longitudinal openings 8 for receiving the pins 6, the openings 8 being of a size to make an easy sliding fit with the pins 6. The arms have the slots 9 in the bottoms of them in which are arranged the screws 10. The screws extend into the pins 6 and are adapted to lock the 1 arms in any position to which they may be adjusted. Springs 11 are also provided and these when the screws 10 are loosened force the arms 7 to their outer position. the engagement of the screw with the end of the slot 9 limiting this outward movement. Pins 12 extend upwardly from the ends of the arm leaving a small projection 13 on which the yarn may rest.

Gopies of this patent may be obtained for By placing the pins 6 in the head 3, this being the smaller part of the arm, the head- 3 may be formed of smaller diameter because the smaller diameter of the pins does not require an opening into the head to make a firm joint. The springs may be utilized to keep the yarn under tension or the screws may form a positive adjustment. Putting the larger part of the arms including the telescoping part 7 on the pins and making it the larger end of the arm it is possible to put the pins 12 into the arms thus simplifying the oint.

The base provided while portable isample to support the device in ordinary winding such as occurs in domestic use and at the same time adapts the device to convenient packingv and display. The legs can be readily shipped knocked-down if desired.

What I claim as new is 1. In a yarn winder, the combination of p a portable base; a rotating head with a vertical axis; telescopic arms carried bythe head and extending horizontally therefrom, the tubular portion of the telescopic arms being provided with slots; and screws extending through the slots locking the arms in adjustment.

2. In a yarn winder, the combination of a portable base; a rotating head mounted on the base with a vertical axis; pins extending horizontally into the head; tubular arms fitting over the pins and having slots therein; screws extending through the slots into the pins and adapted to lock the arms in adjustment; springs in the tubular arms exerting pressure on the ends of the pins; and upright pins on the ends of the arms. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set In hand. 1
